    The Callisto Protocol (Survival Horror)

    The Callisto Protocol tried to be the new Dead Space and failed because it turns out the people who wanted a new Dead Space just played the new Dead Space that came out a month later. One thing I'll say however, the DLC story was really pretty good and somewhat original, it should have been the...

    Buying a $500 system with half your money and half your kids' money that you gave them as allowance is a fun way to just buy a $500 system yourself with extra steps. But I do applaud the parenting trick.

    I'd recommend trying to go a bit further in DK Bananza honestly, I think you're missing out unless you absolutely cannot stomach it for some reason. I bought it because it's a AAA Nintendo game and I like DK well enough I guess but I'm not a huge DK fan or anything, but goddamn this game is...

    Wolfenstein the New Order

    What's funny is that the same actress/model was in the Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor games as one of the main characters (not the player though) and she was totally fine in those. Still bug-eyed of course, but calm and measured. They really told her to act like a goddamn banshee in just...

    Wolfenstein the New Order

    I do, but until you mentioned it I thought it was in The New Order. Don't you travel to space in TNO too? Maybe it was just on the Moon and you only go to Venus in TNC. I can't recall the taste of The New Colossus, nor the sound of New Mexico nor the touch of Venus space station. I'm naked in...

    Wolfenstein the New Order

    See, that's the main problem I have with TNC. I can't even recall the town in New Mexixo or the Venus space station, any mention or memory of that game is automatically covered up by this insufferable bug-eyed black chick screeching in every cinematic. Also, while even TNO wasn't exactly...

    Wolfenstein the New Order

    The most recent projects were the trilogy of Wolfenstein : The New Order, then New Colossus and Youngblood. TNO was amazing, legit one of the best FPS stories/games I've played but I'm a huge sucker for WW2 alternate history stuff so that was right up my alley. It had a DLC called Old Blood...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    Definitely not just you, Reed felt very subdued and meek as you said. I'm not sure if they told Pedro Pascal to tone it down to let the other actors have their moments (especially since the idea was to let Sue have a leader role, and Kirby isn't known for being particularly bombastic on screen...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    Oh I'm not saying he's broke or anything, just saying he's not a huge leading man in films in my opinion. He was good in the Sherlock Holmes movies but mostly because he bounced off Jude Law, and I would hardly call Oppenheimer a "RDJ film", he's not even on the poster, appears 8th on the cast...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    I've seen quotes from Disney/Feige lately that didn't look promising for Kang, saying how they quickly realized he wasn't going to be the new Thanos and how he probably wouldn't be able to carry entire phases of the MCU. I'm sure part of it is to soften the blow after Majors was just fired, but...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    I'm not a huge fan of FF or Superman, but I've seen both films. I honestly had a lot more fun watching Superman, but that could depend based on your tolerance for James Gunn hijinks. FF is overall a much more serious movie though it has moments of levity too. Upon leaving the theater, I was...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    I was expecting the same as you, especially as the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts* showed the Excelsior in the sacred timeline, but nope. Which kind of sucks because that means some of the Doomsday runtime is going to be dedicated to bringing the fight between F4 and Doom to our universe...

    RoboCop - Rogue City

    I haven't played the Unfinished Business DLC yet, but from what I read it's kind of like The Raid or Dredd, a bunch of terrorists have taken over a building and you're going up the building to mow down the whole of them up to their leader.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The helm enchants will stop working after season 2, but nothing indicates the Visions Revisited are going away as a grind for currency for mounts/pets/armor transmogs in 11.2. Pretty sure that's staying in the game.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    @Wombat I can't say for every mount affected by this event, but what I can tell you is that I ran Sylvanas with 2 friends and Jailer with 1 friend, and both times when I got the mount it didn't appear in the group loot, it was on the corpse of the boss and only visible for me. So going by that...

    Your mileage may vary, as always with RNG. I went into the Collectors' Bounty event needing only 8 mounts from the dungeons and raids pre-DF, and I got them all within 2 weeks. G.M.O.D. off High King Mekkatorque : I ran Battle for Dazar Alor 100+ times in LFR (I have 60 level 80 characters...

    Squid Game

    The fact that the "american cameo" was playing the regular korean game used for recruiting players could be an indication they're not going to fully americanize the content of the games, but simply moving the organization elsewhere to let the authorities cool down in South Korea. The...

    Squid Game

    My opinion is quite similar to Mahes', I did enjoy season 2 and this feels just like the second half of season 2 (which it is, really), so it's just more of the same. There are a few contrived/plot moments that feel a bit odd but I think it's more of a cultural difference because it's a korean...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    No, raids and mythic dungeons (most of the mounts affected by this boost are in that category) are still on a weekly lockout, that refreshes on tuesdays after the reset. There's a few mounts that can drop on normal or heroic dungeons (Rivendare's Deathcharger in Stratholme, the Blue Proto-Drake...

    Just dropping this bit of info for the people interested in collecting stuff in older content, from July 1 to July 29, the "greedy goblin" event increases drop rates on all pre-Dragonflight mounts and legendaries by x10, and one by X25 (they haven't announced which one). That means all the...

    Battle Arena Toshinden (PS1) had some of the best music of its generation, lots of those tunes live rent-free in my head 30 years later (especially recommend Duke's theme, but Gaia's is also awesome for a final boss theme). Full playlist in this link below : Also really loved the intro...

    Superman: Legacy (2025)

    There's only two things I liked in The Batman : the way the common criminal was so scared of Batman that he freaked out at every shadowy corner, that was quite well done and worked well with the atmosphere of Batman. The second thing was that he did some detective work with the police, instead...

    The Expanse: Osiris Reborn by Owlcat Games

    Fun fact : the Expanse books began as a project for a MMORPG inspired by Mass Effect. They were writing backstory and lore and figured they might as well turn that into a series of books, and it worked out pretty well.

    From experience I can tell you the 999 moons in Mario Odyssey are a piece of cake compared to the 900 Korok Seeds in BOTW and TOTK. I actually got all the moons in Odyssey and while there's a modicum of grinding coins or finding all the secret stuffs to get some of them, it's definitely not...

    If I can provide some advice for BOTW, don't get hung up on the weapons durability. It's a big (and mostly negatively received) change that they put in weapons that break quite easily in the game, but I recommend not worrying too much about it. You're quickly given several abilities that let you...

    Short compared to a regular other video game? Not particularly, I'd say probably around 15/20 hours or so to finish it entirely for me. Short compared to BOTW/TOTK? Oh yes. Those are more like 60/70 hours to complete or 150+ hours to 100% finish everything reasonable (meaning excluding the 900...

    Well, you should definitely play BOTW before TOTK, since TOTK is the sequel to BOTW. Skyward Sword can be played any time, it's really the "first" Zelda in the history of the franchise, establishing lore as to the origins of the whole mythos (to mixed reactions). I'm not a big fan of the...

    My thoughts exactly. I think it's a little harder to justify buying this for people who already own a Switch OLED though.. I only had the original 2017 Switch so for me Switch 2 is a really big upgrade, it's both larger and lighter, and the games load much faster, plus I was going to play MKW on...
